1. Basic information to fieldbus and network connection
Electrical connection The actuator cover must be opened to allow connection of the network cables.
Refer to actuator operation instructions, “Electrical connection”chapter.
The “Electrical connection”chapter of the operation instructions fully applies
to the connection of the fieldbus and network cables. It is imperative to heed
the safety and warning instructions of this chapter in particular.
Profinet cables The following minimum requirements with regard to LAN cables apply for Profinet
networks: Category 5 according to ISO/IEC 11801 Edition 2.0 Class D.
Connector is suitable for wiring dual pair Profinet cables.
The following tables list the available cable types Profinet types A through C with
regard to the respective application:
